I'm in cloud cuckoo land.

You are here

Somewhere I'll definitely be hitting again on my next shopping expedition is Cloud Cuckoo Land in Camden Passage, Islington. It's a little cute boutique full of vintage goodies. I even spied a Victorian scarf on my way in. No kidding.

It's the perfect place to stop if you're on the lookout for something special - beaded flapper dresses, 50s tea dresses and embroidered summer jackets. It's like a grown-up dressing up box.

Plus, the owner isn't afraid to tell you when something looks tragic. But then she uses her magic to find something amazing that you hadn't spotted. Amazing. I'd quite like one of her in every shop.

With each item unique you'll avoid the oh-so-awkward "We're wearing the same thing!" situation.

It sure ticks all my boxes. See you there?
